In this quiz, you have to name the players who reached 1,000 runs in men's Tests from the fewest innings.
Reaching 1,000 Test runs is an important early career milestone, and the select few have reached it at break-neck speed. The fastest player to reach four figures did so after playing just 12 Test match innings for England from 1924 to 1925. His record was equalled by a West Indies player in 1949.
This week, a new name staked their claim to the record, but fell one innings shy at 13 - reaching the milestone with a Test century against New Zealand. He holds second spot with statistically the greatest Australia batter of all-time).
Twenty-three players have taken 18 innings or less to score their first 1,000 runs in men's Tests. You have five minutes to name them all, with their country and the number of innings they took to help you.
All figures are correct as of September 27, 2024.
